Compressing google js [#943804]

Hi:

I just installed this and want to say it is a really great module. Thank you. I have one question.

I think I have figured out how it is working and set it up correctly. It is doing a great job of compressing the pages for my anon visitors. When I look in Yslow it seems like there is one js file that is not getting Gzipped. It is the Google tracking js file, which is stored in a Google folder under "files".

Am I doing something wrong to prevent this getting compressed, or perhaps you are not looking in that folder? Not sure this is a big issue but wanted to understand it.

hmmm... most likely related to these other issues
#940554: CSS files with multiple periods (.) in the filename
#859966: Not compatible with Javascript aggregator (minify)
Need to get some time to dive in clean up code.

I cached a copy of the google analytic.js file locally and the file is

http://healthy-ojas.com/sites/default/files/googleanalytics/ga.js?O

As per google analytic module,
A dummy query-string is added to filenames, to gain control over
// browser-caching. The string changes on every update or full cache
// flush, forcing browsers to load a new copy of the files, as the
// URL changed.

I think this stop the gzip by boost module, hope it is easily fixable by boost maintainer or any other experienced (on .htaccess) person.
